Akabuking:
dont deny the obvious

What you are trying to tell me now is that all Your Leaders in South East are all Competent and Saints?

LazyGold:


Why must you blame South West and other people for all your Calamities?

Don't you have Leaders in South East why don't you guys held your Leaders Responsible?

u dey think at all? Hold the leaders for not building a port in the as/se? Or what re u saying? Approval of such comes from the FG which the SE/SS is always seen as not relevant yet they want to benefit from its resources. So tell me how will a single state government project or try to change the deeds of a President?

We all know what will happen to apapa if these sea ports in SS/SE re opened. Well, I don't expect u to understand cos even if u do, u won't ever agree since its about ur region

Hotfreezer:


Awolowo is from Ogun state.

Politically, Ogun State alone has produced more political heavyweights than your entire backwards region put together.

Obasanjo President 2X
Shonekan Head, ING
Osinbajo VP
Diya. VP
Teslim Elias CJN
Adetokunbo Ademola CJN
Dimeji Bankole Speaker FHR

When your 5 worthless states combined can manage to produce a single president, you can reply me. Till then, keep shut and serve Nigerians in silence.

Obasanjo- President baboon looking, but try small as president.
Shonekan- houseboy president who was excorted by abacha out of aso rock
Osinbajo- Hoseboy VP to a certificateless president
Diya- cry cry baby general
Dimeji Bankole- thief thief speaker with 57 teeth in his mouth.

Shebi Stella Oduah opened a "world-class" Airport in Enugu?

Why don't you use it?

Even if the open 10 ports in each state of the SE, Igbos won't use it. Besides, the state governments won't put in structures to make it work. Eg Tinapa

Amuocha:
Another purple elephant project.
Main reason why Man Utd lost tonight.

What was Jonathan doing during his Tenure? Why didn't you guys demand Sea ports from GEJ?

Hotfreezer:


Which Igbos?

Mention a single Igbo state with IGR up to one-fifth of Ogun state.
Or Igbos are the ones contributing taxes in Ogun state too?

See, Igbos are always bitter when good things come to other people. Bring a project to the SW, they cry. Take it to the North, na cry. Take it to the SS, they insult SS that they are foolish for allowing the APC deceive them.

Look at how Igbos insult SE leaders that try to reach out. Umahi, Rochas, Kalu, Obiano, etc are routinely insulted. It is blockheaded leaders like Ikpeazu that they like.

That is why the SE has become what it is today.

Nigeria as a country don’t trust the Igbos. In fact the entity is scared of the Igbos. Why SS is not getting these ports is because of proximity to Igbos.

But in the big plan of Nigeria’s development we need to damn these fears and trash the rubbish concurrent list versus exclusive list.

These days I just say it the way it is, I have no time to massage anybody’s ego.

LazyGold:


What was Jonathan doing during his Tenure? Why didn't you guys demand Sea ports from GEJ?

Do you think a sea port in Calabar or Rivers will help relieve apapa gridlock? Yes o no?

Do you think it is best for the country?

Will federal government allow states to proceed with such projects?

Why shouldn’t states develop the natural ports available to them if it will benefit the country in the long run?

Keep thinking in the direction of GEJ, PDP, Buhari etc and watch how we all will remain underdeveloped

LazyGold:


So South West getting what's best for them means we are afraid of Igbo?

So we shouldn't pursue our Development and start pursueing Development for Igbo?

You guys use to think too Highly of Yourselves

This is good for a short term. Same as all the inland dry ports scattered all over the country. But how many sensible countries with vast sea shore and natural bays will continue to depend on one sea port and several dry ports?

The country don’t trust the Igbos, otherwise why not allow costal states build ports?

We know what is holding us all back but we want to keep on window dressing

LazyGold:

you that know the Igbo's won't use it if created abi. Knower.

But the Yoruba's will use it. I just sorry for the offspring of this country cos sentiment will be the order of the day. Well, just so u know. M not even Igbo but the truth remains the truth

IntrovertedK:
so na Igbos own SS, shey?

And Jonathan a south southerner didn't remember this plan when he was president, why?

Jonathan was busy doing what he thought was most important, pacify the north and get them by his side.

Igbos don’t own the SS. They have tried their best to convince Nigeria that they are different from the SE and maybe, just maybe, they will start being allowed some level of autonomy.

A port in the SS will benefit the Igbos more. A rapid development of the Igbos remain a nightmare to a lot of Nigerians.

Hotfreezer:


What is greedy West?

When they wanted to build the rail line to reach Calabar passing through the SE, didn't Igbo Senators shoot it down so that they can fight Amaechi and Buhari?

The SE has been supporting Saraki. Tell me a single thing the SE got from Saraki's Senate.

The consequences of the politics played by the SE isn't yet clear now. 20 years from now, your children would curse you for mortgaging their futures just to fight, insult, abuse and oppose those indifferent about you.

They are talking of port, you are talking or railway. Because of the Lagos Ibadan railway, they want to build a dry port in Ibadan. However, the others existing ports in the country are non functional.
Where is thy thinking sense?

You have not made a single intelligent contribution on this thread. You can be from kuvukiland and not Igbo, I don't care.

You are an unenlightened boy with no idea of anything.

Why don't you go and read reports on the other ports instead of advertising your ignorance?

Start from here:

Maybe you'll grow some sense before you finish reading.

go and read about proposed Ondo port

IntrovertedK:

Is Ondo in the SE? Your point?

IntrovertedK:
lmao. I do hope you have reasons sha.

The Biafra war and perceived Igbo “Arrogance”.

But it is who the Igbos are. They won’t change.

If an “Igbo” carved god decides to go wayward, the community will remind her the wood out of which she was carved.

That is why there can never be a Tinibu in Igboland.

Funny, but if Atiku had a Yoruba VP, Igbos would have voted for him still.

Most Igbos hate poverty mentality, with Passion.

Hotfreezer:


The SW is presently pursuing a project called DAWN.
Purused by the SW govts, not FG.

Ibeju Lekki FTZ is by Lagos State government, not FG.

Ogun is building a new Energy city. Ogun state, not FG.

Mention a similar project in the SE.

I am telling you that even the leaders of the SE don't have good plans for the SE and you're here arguing.

I am Ibo and I really see your points bro
We must hold our greedy leaders responsible

Talking as if Buhari will give approval.

Mtscheww

keee:
Why cant all these Igbo Business men build a private sea port in Onishta, Asaba or PH or somewhere in the East since federal govt is not thinking along that line. Do it as a business and stop complaining about what ndi Yoruba is doing over here

Bodingo:

It need a willing government that will like to develop the entire Nigeria like South Africa is doing in their country. They may like to do it but FG will block it through greedy west.

South Africa have six standard ports, if you live in Capetown you don't need to go all the way to Durban to clear your goods. If Nigeria is serious country that want to provide job to the youth, somebody that live in Aba dont need to go to lagos to clear his goods where there is Calabar, PH or Onitsha that is nearby. The same with someone in Kano and other part of the north, you clear your goods in Kaduna port.

Goods are shipped to the ports where the importer wants it shipped, do not blame the government...
BTW, if commercially viable, goods can also be landed in Lagos on big oceanliners and then re-shipped to various other ports in smaller vessels.

VULCAN:

We wouldn't know until a proposal is placed before the government...

this comment is somehow incoherent sha buh as regards the civil war, it was because Ironsi refuse to punish those that participated in the coup and also the killing of the Sardauna of Sokoto. There was nothing like percieved arrogance of any sort anywhere.

There's also the proposed Empower FTZ in Enugu, but unsure how/if it's proceeding along.

you said the FG will not approve it if the state wish to embark on such development then i remind you of Ondo port. The FG didn't call them to stop after the proposal. Did any of your govt or SS govt proposed it and the FG stop them?

They are always rebellious and dubious and that was what led to the civil war in Nigeria in d 60s. And now they are begging to rule the country. Azikwe also did it to Awolowo

only the SE is not relevant, don't drag d SS into this, moreover do they buy things in d SE, what do they need port for? Ask ur brothers how many Igbo's buy things from them in Yoruba land, it's always Yoruba's nd other tribes that purchase from them. So investing huge in SE won't bring fortune for the country.

In fact there are MULTIPLE seaports in Rivers - Onne Main, Onne FLT, Port Harcourt, Bonny, etc.

Ibadan has been developed right from when your fathers were still living in trees and learning how to make human sounds.

Hawking gala in traffic is not development, it won't be allowed in Ibadan.

Only ewedu will be imported there and exportation of skulls

They want to use style and drive Igbo's to their slum city called Ibadan to develop it but Igbo's are wiser than them

The reality is that we would not know, since taxes are paid where the taxpayer is resident/doing business and not in the state of origin...
